Approx 3 years ago, I noticed a small crack in the dash on the passenger side, I thought maybe someone did something and did not tell me. Since that time, my dash has increased in the amount and length of the cracks. One crack is about 24-28 inches long and others are about 2 inches and longer. I looked on the internet and found many complaints about the same issue. My 4runner is garage kept and I have not done anything to my dash that would create they cracks. What can happen if the passenger airbag is deployed in an accident" can this cause flying pieces of the dash board to be in your face when the airbag hits causing possible facial damage"

I have a 2004 4runner limited. The dash has a long crack all the way across the front. The dash on the passenger side right above the glove box is covered with cracks. I believe that this is a defect in materials used by Toyota and that it can potentially cause the airbag to not deploy correctly. The local dealership claims that they have never seen anything like it before, but there are numerous other complaints online. I believe that if it was caused by the weather or products used that the cracks would be all over the top of the dash, not just the front where the airbag is suppose to deploy. A recall needs to be issued and Toyota needs to own up to its faulty dashes.

Driver side and passenger side air bags deployed when ignition switch was turned to first position. Engine was not running and car was in park. My car was parked in my garage at the time air bags exploded and has not been in any accidents.

I was driving my children to school and a car coming in the opposite direction tried to make a left hand turn in front of me, she did not have time to make the turn( I didn't even have time to put on brakes) which ended up in a head on collision. I was going around 45mph and my airbag did not deploy. No one was seriously hurt but my head and upper body did get bruised and banged up pretty bad. I do have a police report and I'm waiting to get the copy.
